I just don't believe that GTK can't create a slider without these

Try using such a fader for any real audio work.
Attached.
I mean the ones in the analog levels. You can't assume what a channel
is used for, just make them all the same.

There are three of them, and Alleline.

Adding a log2() and a multiplication doesn't seem like much of a

Anyway, the current scale is completely wrong so I wonder why it
was added, and it's not the one you need either - you don't have
enough data to indicate down to -120. The range should be down to
-40 or so. Even that will take steps in the lower range that are
larger than one pixel.
- The meters just indicate level in a linear way.
Half scale
is -6dB etc.
I figured there's enough changes in this first round that need
testing&feedback and decided for "release early and often" rather than
implementing yet another feature...
This sounds like an incremental feature for 1.1 once the other changes
I've made are vetted/tested and working. Note that the original meters essentially used the
same value-to-pixel
mapping for the peak meters -- they just didn't tell you that
half-scale was -6dB.
Nor do the current ones.
- The analog
gain sliders behave strangly. They seem to 'detent'
on the scale marks, it's quite impossible to set a value *near*
a scale mark while at the same time the resulotion halfway
between scale marks seems to be OK.
This is a side effect of routines I added to draw markings in the
scale widgets. GTK automatically auto-detents at the markings -- it's
certainly not what I wanted. (See volume.c: e.g.
draw_24bit_attenuator_scale_markings(), draw_dac_scale_markings() &
draw_dac_scale_markings() called out of
envy24control.c:create_analog_volume()). - *Please*
make the first analog gain fader size the same as
the others. The presence of the 4dBu button should not affect
this.
Hmm... what 4dBu button?? Sounds like you have a delta1010? Could you
send me a screenshot of what that ends up looking like? - (personal
preference) Don't group the faders into stereo
pairs.
Do you mean on the digital mixer inputs in "Monitor PCM Outs" and
"Monitor Inputs" -- those were already stereo paired to begin with. I
don't like it that much, but it would have been a big change.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/kenvy24/ uses a "Pan" knob on each
channel, which makes more sense, and wastes less space. (Alas kenvy24
doesn't work correctly, and appears long neglected).
